those bacteria into a much more formidable attack on soft tissue thereby creating alot more problems for yourself in not only the immediate, but distant future.
Both the antibiotics you mention are commonly used for other infections (urinarytract and fungal) although they have been used dentally on occasion. Soft tissue infection isn't one of them, though.

It sounds like you don't have a urinarytractinfection anymore, but did your doctor discuss Painful Bladder Syndrome (also called insterstitial cystitis)?
Since you're coming up with a clear culture, it may be that you're reacting to acidic foods in your diet. I was on a vicious cycle of antibiotics and cranberry pills when I discovered I probably didn't have a problem with infection, but rather with painful bladder.

They always say I have a bad urinary tractinfection but now they are saying its a vaginal infection. I dont understand how i am getting UTI's so much and the vaginal infection is new. I have an aweful smell everytime after me and my fiance have sexual intercourse and when i douche it doesnt go away. No matter how clean i am down there. Ive tryed the water in a douche bottle and that doesnt work either.

It can be caused by a variety of micro organisms, most of which are the sorts of micro organisms that tend to cause urinarytractinfection. Since you have been diagnosed with prostatitis I will accept this but I would not assume that you got your infection from oral sex, nor would I suggest that you can know what organism is causing your problem. Typically treatment of prostatitis takes a long time, typically more than 4 weeks and the fact that you have begun to improve is a good sign.

This didnt help so I went back to the doctor in July and was positive for urinarytractinfection and 8/12/2012 was then given 500 mg of metronidazole one tablet twice a day for seven days.This still didnt cure me,, mind u everytime i go back to the doc .. im checked again and I am still positive for trichomonas. next trip to doctor was 9/22/2012 i was given 150 mg of clindamycin two capsules twice a day for 7 days. This did not cure me either.

but like 4-5 hours a day was horrible uncomfort) Ask the doc to test ur urine for E.Coli or UrinaryTractInfection. I knnow it is so uncomfortable, I was in tears. Wet a cloth with cold water and place it where it is burning. If you can have someone keep it cold by keep soaking it in cold water for you. it will help.

OK .. so I was "supposed" to have MRSA and taking Clindamycin for the past 2+ weeks and that, along with the I&D procedures (Incision & Drainage) to the abscesses, should be done, better, over, and well.
Of the 4 areas, the middle one is healed, the bottom one is draining a little and has a knot forming underneath it, the top one is draining a lot and has a large knot forming underneath and around it and the one on my hip fills and then about every 3 days it drains. Sorry ..

Thongs can sometimes rub bacteria from your anus into your vagina, thus causing bacterial vaginitis or a urinarytractinfection.
As for the BV, you must get antibiotics. Usually your doctor will want to do a culture, to see what specific bacteria you have an overgrowth of, and thus choose an appropriate type of antibiotic. I too suffered from recurrant BV..and I didn't have PID. I was battling pH imbalance...

They need to look at his urine under a microscope, and if he still has the dicharge, they need to take a sample of that and check that out under the scope too.
Its possible he has a urinarytractinfection, but his symptoms point more towards an std.
You both need to get checked as soon as possible.

I know from personal experience how devastating this can be to you. I have been battling both UrinaryTract Infections (UTI) and Bladder Infections since January. I have been on 2 different antibiotics and they have absolutely torn my stomach apart!! Both of them are from the Sulpher (sp?) family. I had to quit taking my pain BT meds and have been in tremendous pain from all of this. The antibiotics made me continuously throw up 24/7. I couldn't keep any food down.

Wash your hands frequently (also before urinating, you don't want to spread the MRSA to the urinarytract). Don't share personal items such as towels or razors with another person -- MRSA can be transmitted through contaminated items. Don't visit anybody who's ill or in the hospital and avoid using swimming pools.
I looked at your pictures....since some of the sores are draining, you need to cover them up with clean bandages and change them several times a day.

If you got strep pyogenes in your urinarytract you would have a infection. Since you are taking pills for strep, in theory it should go away. So, that is why I wonder if may you got something else? You probably should call the doctor and hopefully get a culture instead of more antibiotics. They can also tell from the urine itself.

I started having whitish/slightly yellow discharge about 2 weeks after and vaginal burning. No itching. I thought it might have been a urinarytract infection, but that came back negative. All the tests (chlamydia, gonorrhea, yeast, trichomonas) came back negative. My vaginal pH was (and still is) high, maybe around 5, and I had lots of white blood cells in the discharge. My GYN thought I may have had BV and was given Flagyl but that didn't help.

Two years ago during my stay in north of Thailand I had an exposure by receiving unprotected oral sex.
Four days later I felt burning sensation on top of my penis and in urinarytract, one week later a milky discharge also observed and I went to clinic.

I never put two and two together but I started taking Keflex again (This time for a urinarytractinfection) an the incision i had done in March (which was completely healed and hadnt drained in weeks) opened back up again an started draining a yellowish discharge with some blood. I wonder if this is coincidence or some sort of weird reaction. How many incisions do you have? Take care and keep us posted!

You can find it in many other places depending on the disease, but most commonly it is a pathogen of the urinarytract. In patients with long term respiratory problems, on vents, or chronically ill, the patient can get colonized with enteric bacteria. They just sit there in the respiratory tract but don't necessarily cause infection. Ask your ID doc about colonization vs. pathogenicity.

I was diagnosed with really bad kidney and urinarytract infections and when the urine was sent out to a lab it was discovered there was strep B in it. I took a week of Cirpo and then it came back so I took a week of Bactrim and it still came back so low i am on levaquin. What would cause this strep to be in my urine and cause infections that don't go away?

Bacteremia may occur spontaneously or may complicate a focal infection (eg, urinarytractinfection, pneumonia, or cellulitis). Some surgical and dental procedures and instrumentations involving mucosal surfaces or
contaminated tissue cause transient bacteremia that rarely persists for more than 15 minutes. Blood-borne bacteria may lodge
on damaged or abnormal heart valves or on the endocardium or the endothelium near anatomic defects, resulting in bacterial
endocarditis or endarteritis.

Endocarditis usually develops in individuals with underlying structural cardiac defects who develop bacteremia with organisms
likely to cause endocarditis. Bacteremia may occur spontaneously or may complicate a focal infection (eg, urinarytract
infection, pneumonia, or cellulitis). Some surgical and dental procedures and instrumentations involving mucosal surfaces or
contaminated tissue cause transient bacteremia that rarely persists for more than 15 minutes.

This is a sign of chronic infection, or inflammatory disease, or hypothyroid etc. since you have a chronic infection it fits with your diagnosis. You should follow up on why your lymphocytes are so low. You could get your CD4/CD8 count done. See if that is normal and go from there. It is a sign of low immune system. But the cause hasn't been tested for or found yet. I don't know why. If I were you I wouldn't get your tonsils out.
